S60 AC blowing warm air

Alright Volvo gurus, I've got a head-scratcher. My 2014 Volvo S60, gasoline engine, is blowing warm air. The AC just isn't kicking on at all now. It's like trying to cool your house with a hair dryer! I've checked the obvious stuff – fuses look good, but beyond that, I'm stumped. The car has 160286 km on the clock. Any ideas before I sell a kidney for repairs?

A 2014 Volvo S60 is experiencing an issue where the air conditioning system is blowing warm air and not engaging at all. Initial checks, such as fuses, were performed without finding the problem. Possible causes include a faulty pressure switch, AC relay, or a defect affecting the valves within the AC system. A qualified technician diagnosed the issue as a faulty valve, which was subsequently repaired.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

The symptoms you describe suggest a potential issue within the air conditioning system itself. Has the system’s pressure been checked? Are you noticing any unusual noises when the AC is engaged, even if it isn’t cooling? These details can help narrow down the possibilities.

Thanks for the quick reply! No unusual noises, and I haven't had the system pressure checked (don't have the tools). Could it be something like a faulty pressure switch, or maybe even the AC relay?

While a pressure switch or relay issue is possible, the complete failure to engage suggests a broader problem. Given the age of your vehicle and the mileage, a defect affecting the valves within the AC system itself is a strong possibility. Unfortunately, specialized diagnostic equipment will be required to pinpoint the exact faulty component. I recommend consulting a qualified technician.

Appreciate the diagnosis! I took it to a shop and turns out you were spot on. They confirmed a faulty valve issue, and the repair cost 1000€. Not ideal, but at least I know what the problem was. Thanks again!
